Hey Everyone,

Here is Part Two of our interview with Felicia Chu, the writer-director JANET. Don't forget to watch Part One!

In Part One, we discuss Felicia's theatre background, her foray into film and how having nightmares, where you feel powerless turned into her short film Janet.

In Part Two, we discuss the action choreography and cinematography, working with Michaël Boucherie, the tactical consultant, set procedure and the joys and challenges of working on Janet.

Felicia Chu is the writer-director of the high-octane first person pov action short film Janet. When Janet wakes up in a foreign place, she has one goal to get the hell out of there and save her brother. It has been years since her parents left without a trace and now their past is back to haunt her? Does she have what it takes to break free? As the audience, we see everything through Janet's eyes, including her fight to break free.

About the Director: Felicia Chu is a Film and Theatre graduate from Lancaster University. She is a budding filmmaker and actor with a background in Theatre and Stage and Screen Combat. She has worked on over 20 student short films in Singapore and the UK. She is currently pursuing a career as an intimacy coordinator and script supervisor.

We hope you enjoy Part Two!
